It's very likely he wouldn't be able to pass a background check himself, so he stole the identity to secure a well-paid job that he couldn't get himself

In Alabama it would the industrial sector that is in the wrong.

Nobody wants to pay for more expensive land, but we should force them to via regulation if they are going to spread cancer in the air.

The URL is cleaner with ipinfo.io, don't have to specify GET parameters with it.

Reselling AWS's offerings would cost more than running it on bare VM's, I'm sure they would be able to compete on price with them.

It also doesn't make sense to rewrite their current software which is probably abstracted for multi-cloud to support re-selling.
